[0019] The following provides detailed descriptions separately by using specific embodiments.

[0020] Referring to FIG. 1 and FIG. 2, FIG. 1 and FIG. 2 show an injection molding apparatus 100 provided in a first embodiment of a first solution of the present invention. The injection molding apparatus 100 is configured to receive injection-molding melt to solidify the injection-molding melt into an injection molded part 1000.

The injection port 11 is configured to be connected to a material injection apparatus (not shown), to receive the injection-molding melt injected by the material injection apparatus.

[0022] After the material injection apparatus injects the injection-molding melt into the injection port 11, the injection-molding melt flows into the transmission runner 12. The fixed mold component 10 includes a fixed mold module 101 and a fixed-mold fastening board 102. The fixed-mold fastening board 102 is located on the top of the fixed mold module 101, and is configured to fasten the fixed mold module 101.

[0023] Optionally, the fixed-mold fastening board 102 may be fastened to the material injection apparatus by using a buckle, a screw, or the like, so as to fasten the fixed mold module 101 to the material injection apparatus.

[0024] The movable mold component 20 is configured to cooperate with the fixed mold component 10 to mold the injection molded part 1000. A molding groove 22 is formed on a top portion 21 of the movable mold component 20. The molding groove 22 runs through the top portion 21 of the movable mold component 20, and is communicated with the transmission runner 12. The molding groove 22 includes a first side and a second side that are provided opposite to each other.

[0025] It should be noted that the molding groove 22 running through the top portion 21 of the movable mold component 20 may be understood as the molding groove 22 having an opening, and the opening is provided on the top portion 21 of the movable mold component 20, so that the molding groove 22 is communicated with an external space of the movable mold component 20. The molding groove 22 may be formed by an inward recess from the top portion 21 of the movable mold component 20, or may be formed by excavating inwards from the top portion 21 of the movable mold component 20, or may be formed in another manner. It should be understood that, for the forming manner of the molding groove 22, reference may be made to some existing manners or some new manners in the future, provided that the opening of the molding groove 22 is located on the top portion of the movable mold component 20, so that the molding groove 22 is communicated with the external space of the movable mold component 20.

[0026] Optionally, the movable mold component 20 may move along a direction I perpendicular to the ground, to cooperate with the fixed mold component 10 to mold the injection molded part 1000.

[0027] Optionally, the movable mold component 20 is further connected to a push-pull mechanism (not shown). The push-pull mechanism is configured to push and pull the movable mold component 20, so that the movable mold component 20 moves along the direction I perpendicular to the ground. The movable mold component 20 includes a fixed base 201, a supporting column 202, a movable-mold fastening board 203, a movable mold module 204, a guide piece 205, an abutting rod 206, and a moving board 207. The fixed base 201 is further provided with a through hole 2011. The through hole 2011 runs through the top and the bottom of the fixed base 201. The supporting column 202 is disposed on the fixed base 201, and is configured to support the movable-mold fastening board 203. The movable mold module 204 is fastened on the movable-mold fastening board 203. The moving board 207 is placed on the top of the fixed base 201, and corresponds to the through hole 2011. The moving board 207 is provided with a limiting hole 2072. The guide piece 205 runs through the limiting hole 2072, and is disposed between the movable-mold fastening board 203 and the fixed base 201, to guide the moving board 207. A first end of the abutting rod 206 is fastened on the moving board 207. A second end of the abutting rod 206 corresponds to the molding groove 22. When the injection molding apparatus 100 is needed to mold the injection molded part 1000, the movable mold component 20 is pushed by using the push-pull mechanism to get close to the fixed mold component 10 along the direction I perpendicular to the ground, until the movable mold component 20 is in press fit with the fixed mold component 10. When the injection molded part 1000 needs to be taken out, the movable mold component 20 is driven by using the push-pull mechanism to get away from the fixed mold component 10 along the direction I perpendicular to the ground. Then the push-pull mechanism is used to push the moving board 207, to drive the abutting rod 206 to move, and the abutting rod 206 moves towards the molding groove 22 under guide of the guide piece 205, so as to eject the injection molded part 1000 out of the injection molding groove 22.

[0028] The first positive electrode module 30 is located on the first side of the molding groove 22.

[0029] The first negative electrode module 40 is located on the second side of the molding groove 22, to correspond to the first positive electrode module 30, so as to cooperate with the first positive electrode module 30 to form an electric field between the first side and the second side of the molding groove 22, and further to perform electric field excitation on the injection-molding melt that flows into the molding groove 22 through the transmission runner 12; and at least one of the first positive electrode module 30 or the first negative electrode module 40 is insulated from the fixed mold component 10 and the movable mold component 20.

[0030] In this embodiment, a molding groove 22 is formed on a top portion 21 of the movable mold component 20. The molding groove 22 runs through the top portion 21 of the movable mold component 20, and is communicated with the transmission runner 12. The molding groove 22 includes a first side and a second side that are provided opposite to each other. The first positive electrode module 30 is disposed on the first side of the molding groove 22, and is insulated from the fixed mold component 10 and the movable mold component 20. The first negative electrode module 40 is disposed on the second side of the molding groove 22, to correspond to the first positive electrode module 30, so as to cooperate with the first positive electrode module 30 to form an electric field between the first side and the second side of the molding groove 22, and further to perform electric field excitation on the injection-molding melt that flows into the molding groove 22 through a first through groove; and at least one of the first positive electrode module 30 or the first negative electrode module 40 is insulated from the fixed mold component 10 and the movable mold component 20. Therefore, by means of the injection molding apparatus 100, an electric field is formed between the first side and the second side of the molding groove 22, to implement electric field excitation on injection-molding melt flowing into the molding groove 22, thereby forming a final injection molded part 1000. By means of quality analysis for the injection molded part 1000, a structure form and performance of the injection molded part are improved.

[0031] It should be noted that for consideration of safety, the first positive electrode module 30 and the first negative electrode module 40 may both be insulated from the fixed mold component 10 and the movable mold component 30.

[0032] Optionally, the first positive electrode module 30 is disposed in the fixed mold component 10. The first side of the molding groove 22 is a side that is of the molding groove and that is away from the movable mold component 20 in a direction from the movable mold component 20 to the fixed mold component 10. The first negative electrode module 40 is the movable mold component 20. The second side of the molding groove 22 is a side that is of the molding groove 22 and that is away from the fixed mold component 10 in the direction from the movable mold component 20 to the fixed mold component 10. The movable mold component 20 is grounded, so that a direction of the electric field formed between the first side and the second side of the molding groove 22 is perpendicular to a flowing direction of the injection-molding melt that flows into the molding groove 22. The first positive electrode module 30 may be connected to an external positive electrode.

[0033] Optionally, when the movable mold component 20 may move along the direction I perpendicular to the ground, to cooperate with the fixed mold component 10 to mold the injection molded part 1000, the first side of the molding groove 22 is a side that is of the molding groove 22 and that is away from the movable mold component 20 in the direction I perpendicular to the ground. The second side of the molding groove 22 is a side that is of the molding groove 22 and that is away from the fixed mold component 10 in the direction I perpendicular to the ground.

[0034] Optionally, the fixed mold component 10 is provided with an accommodation groove 29. The accommodation groove 29 runs through a bottom wall of the fixed mold component 10, and corresponds to the molding groove 22. The injection molding apparatus 100 further includes a first insulation structure 50 and a second insulation structure 60. The first positive electrode module 30 is accommodated in the accommodation groove 29. The first insulation structure 50 is disposed between the first positive electrode module 30 and an inner wall of the accommodation groove 29, so as to insulate the first positive electrode module 30 from the fixed mold component 10. The second insulation structure 60 is disposed in the movable mold component 20, and encircles a peripheral wall of the molding groove 22, so that the peripheral wall of the molding groove 22 is insulated from the movable mold component 20, to centralize electric field lines of the electric field in the molding groove 22.

[0035] It should be noted that the accommodation groove 29 running through the bottom wall of the movable mold component 10 may be understood as the accommodation groove 29 having an opening, and the opening is provided on the bottom wall of the movable mold component 10, so that the accommodation groove 29 is communicated with an external space of the movable mold component 10. The accommodation groove 29 may be formed by an inward recess from the bottom wall of the movable mold component 10, or may be formed by excavating inwards from the bottom wall of the movable mold component 10, or may be formed in another manner. It should be understood that, for the forming manner of the accommodation groove 29, reference may be made to some existing manners or some new manners in the future, provided that the opening of the accommodation groove 29 is located on the bottom wall of the movable mold component 10, so that the accommodation groove 29 is communicated with the external space of the movable mold component 10.

[0036] When the fixed mold component 10 and the movable mold component 20 are in a press fit state, the bottom wall of the fixed mold component 10 is in contact with the top portion 21 of the movable mold component 20. Materials of the fixed mold component 10 and the movable mold component 20 are both electrically conductive materials. When the electric field is formed, electric field lines are diverged after the electric field encounters the electrically conductive material. Therefore, the first insulation structure 50 and the second insulation structure 60 centralize the electric field lines in the molding groove 22 to prevent the electric field lines from being divergent, so that a direction of the formed electric field is perpendicular to a flowing direction of the injection-molding melt that flows into the molding groove 22. Specifically, the first insulation structure 50 and the second insulation structure 60 may be of a polyimide fiberglass cloth insulation structure. In this embodiment, a bottom surface of the first positive electrode module 30 is on a same plane as a bottom wall of the fixed mold component 10. Field strength of the electric field is less than breakdown field strength of air. Specifically, in this implementation manner, the electric field is a strong electric field, and the electric field has a field strength of 10 kV/cm. The injection molded part 1000 has a size of 80 mm*10 mm*4 mm.

[0037] In this embodiment, the first positive electrode module 30 is block-shaped. In another embodiment, the first positive electrode module 30 may be of another shape such as a sheet-like shape.

[0038] Referring to FIG. 3 and FIG. 4, a second embodiment of the first solution of the present invention provides an injection molding apparatus 200. The injection molding apparatus 200 provided in the second embodiment is similar to the injection molding apparatus 100 provided in the first embodiment, and a difference between them is: in the second embodiment, the first positive electrode module 230 and the first negative electrode module 240 are both disposed in the movable mold component 220. The first side of the molding groove 22 is a side from which the injection-molding melt flows into the molding groove 22. The second side of the molding groove 22 is a side from which the injection-molding melt flows out of the molding groove. The first positive electrode module 230 is provided with a first through groove 232, and a first port of the first through groove 232 is communicated with the transmission runner 12. A second port of the first through groove 232 is communicated with a first port of the molding groove 22, so that the injection-molding melt flows into the molding groove 22 through the transmission runner 12 and the first through groove 232, and a direction of an electric field formed between the first positive electrode module 230 and the first negative electrode module 240 is parallel to a flowing direction of the injection-molding melt that flows into the molding groove 22.

[0039] In this embodiment, the electric field is a strong electric field, and the electric field has a field strength of 10 kV/cm. The injection molded part 2000 has a size of 60 mm*60 mm*2 mm. The first positive electrode module 230 and the first negative electrode module 240 are both block-shaped. In another embodiment, the first positive electrode module 230 and/or the first negative electrode module 240 may be of another shape such as a sheet-like shape. The first positive electrode module 230 is configured to be connected to an external positive electrode. The first negative electrode module 240 is configured to be connected to an external negative electrode or grounded.

[0040] Further, the first negative electrode module 240 is provided with a second through groove 242. A first port of the second through groove 242 is communicated with the transmission runner 12. A second port of the second through groove 242 is communicated with a second port of the molding groove 22, so that the injection-molding melt flowing out of the transmission runner 12 flows into the molding groove 22 separately through the first through groove 232 and the second through groove 242, and the injection-molding melt 1000 flowing into the molding groove 22 has a weld line after being molded.

[0041] It should be noted that the weld line is a cross-connection surface formed when the two flows of injection-molding melt originally encounter each other. Because a quality defect in an injection molding process is generally formed when the injection-molding melt is filled into the molding groove, the formation of the weld line and impact of the weld line on overall performance of the injection molded part are widely concerned problems, and an injection molded part molded by using existing injection molding equipment cannot analyze impact of an electric field on a weld line. By means of the injection molding apparatus 100 in the present invention, an electric field is formed between the first side and the second side of the molding groove 22, and the melt flowing out of the transmission runner 12 flows into the molding groove 22 separately through the first through groove 232 and the second through groove 242, so that the injection-molding melt 1000 flowing into the molding groove 22 has a weld line after being molded. Therefore, the impact of the electric field on the weld line may be analyzed, so as to improve the overall performance of the injection molded part.

[0042] Optionally, the first through groove 232 and the second through groove 242 are fan-shaped. A neck, with a minimum aperture, of the first through groove 232 is an inlet of the first through groove 232, and a neck, with a minimum aperture, of the second through hole 242 is an inlet of the second through hole 242, so that the injection-molding melt separately flows into the first through groove 232 and the second through hole 242. A neck, with a maximum aperture, of the first through groove 232 and the second through hole 242 is an outlet of the first through groove, to guide the injection-molding melt from the first through groove 232 and the second through hole 242 to the molding groove 22.

[0043] In this embodiment, cross-sections of the first through groove 232 and the second through hole 242 are fan-shaped, so that a flow field of the injection-molding melt is uniform, to improve quality of the injection molded part. In another embodiment, the first through groove 232 and the second through hole 242 may be set to another shape according to an actual requirement.

[0044] Optionally, a fuel pipe is further disposed in the fixed mold component 10, and is configured to generate heat, so as to transfer the heat to the molding groove 22, to mold the injection-molding melt in the molding groove 22. A water pipe is further disposed in the movable mold component 20, and is configured to perform cooling and molding on the injection-molding melt in the molding groove 22. Further, the injection molding apparatus 100 further includes a thermally conductive pad (not shown). The thermally conductive pad is disposed at the bottom of the first positive electrode module 30, to transfer the heat generated by the fuel pipe to the injection-molding melt.

[0045] Optionally, the injection molding apparatus 200 further includes a second positive electrode module 250 and a second negative electrode module 260. The second positive electrode module 250 is disposed in the fixed mold component 210, and is located above the first positive electrode module 230, so as to form a positive electrode module group with the first positive electrode module 210. The second negative electrode module 260 is disposed in the fixed mold component 210, and is located above the first negative electrode module 240, so as to form a negative electrode module group with the first negative electrode module 240. The second positive electrode module and the second negative electrode module are both insulated from the fixed mold component 210. The positive electrode module group cooperates with the negative electrode module group, to form an electric field between the first side and the second side of the molding groove 22, and further to perform electric field excitation on the injection-molding melt flowing into the molding groove 22.

[0046] It should be noted that the first positive electrode module 230 and the first negative electrode module 240 are both disposed in the movable mold component 220. The second positive electrode module 250 is disposed in the fixed mold component 210, and is disposed corresponding to the first positive electrode module 230. The second negative electrode module 260 is disposed in the fixed mold component 210, and is disposed corresponding to the first positive electrode module 240. This arrangement of the first positive electrode module 230, the first negative electrode module 240, the second positive electrode module 250, and the second negative electrode module 260 ensures uniformity of the electric field.

[0047] In this embodiment, the second positive electrode module 250 and the second negative electrode module 260 are both block-shaped. In another embodiment, the second positive electrode module 250 and/or the second negative electrode module 260 may be of another shape such as a sheet-like shape. The second positive electrode module 250 is configured to be connected to an external positive electrode. The second negative electrode module 260 is configured to be connected to an external negative electrode or grounded.

[0048] Optionally, the second positive electrode module 250 is provided with a third through groove (not shown). A first port of the third through groove is communicated with the transmission runner 12. A second port of the third through groove is communicated with a first port of the molding groove 22, and the third through groove is communicated with the first through groove 232. The negative electrode module 260 is provided with a fourth through groove (not shown). A first port of the fourth through groove is communicated with the transmission runner 12. A second port of the fourth through groove is communicated with a second end of the molding groove 22, and the fourth through groove is communicated with the second through groove 242.

[0049] Optionally, the third through groove and the fourth through groove are funnel-shaped. A neck, with a minimum aperture, of the third through groove is an inlet of the third through groove, and a neck, with a minimum aperture, of the fourth through groove is an inlet of the fourth through groove, so that the injection-molding melt separately flows into the third through groove and the fourth through groove. A neck, with a maximum aperture, of the third through groove is an outlet of the third through groove 252, and a neck, with a maximum aperture, of the fourth through groove is an outlet of the fourth through groove 262, so as to guide the injection-molding melt from the third through groove and the fourth through groove to the third through groove 22.

[0050] Similarly, cross-sections of the third through groove and the fourth through hole are fan-shaped, so that the flow field of the injection-molding melt is uniform, to improve the quality of the injection molded part. In another embodiment, the first through groove 232 and the second through hole 242 may be set to another shape according to an actual requirement.

[0051] Optionally, a shape of the first positive electrode module 230 is the same as that of the second positive electrode module 250, and a shape of the first negative electrode module 240 is the same as that of the second negative electrode module 260. A projection of the first positive electrode module 230 on the ground overlaps that of the second positive electrode module 250 on the ground. A projection of the first negative electrode module 240 on the ground overlaps that of the second negative electrode module 260 on the ground, so that the electric field is more uniform.

[0052] Further, the shapes of the first positive electrode module 230 and the second positive electrode module 250 are the same as those of the first negative electrode module 240 and the second negative electrode module 260.

[0053] In this embodiment, a molding groove is formed on the top portion of the movable mold component; the molding groove runs through the top portion of the movable mold component, and is communicated with the transmission runner. The first positive electrode module is located on the first side of the molding groove, and is insulated from the fixed mold component and the movable mold component. Injection-molding melt is injected by using the injection port, so that the injection-molding melt flows into the molding groove through the transmission runner. An electric field between the first side and the second side of the molding groove performs electric field excitation on the injection-molding melt flowing into the molding groove. Therefore, with the injection molding apparatus, an electric field is formed between the first side and the second side of the molding groove, to implement electric field excitation on injection-molding melt flowing into the molding groove, thereby forming a final injection molded part 1000. By means of quality analysis for the injection molded part 1000, a structure form and performance of the injection molded part are improved.
